Sunday, Day 1 of Disneyland Vacation
Because Sunday is a day of rest & relaxation we decided to go to the beach on that day. I didn't take tons of pictures there.......Not a big fan of a bathing suit......But, boy it was fun to watch those around us!!

So after about being run over by probably 4 bikes trying to get down to the beach, we finally got setup.
Just as the guys decide to go out into the water, we dared Tyler to run out in just his Speedo. Well, he totally did it!! Just dropped his shorts & took off into the water!! My camera was not ready so I missed it, but I was definitely there to see it. Needless to say he stayed in the water for a VERY long time after that. It's one thing to run into the water with everyone watching your backside.....But, clearly another to come in with everyone watching your frontside!! Has anyone seen a certain episode of Seinfeld??? Sorry Ty, you'll never live it down!!!

The girls loved playing in the water & collecting seashells!!! After a while they got tired of the salt & came in to play in the sand.









Finally coming in from the water!!

After playing on the beach & in the water we walked up to where the shops were and walked around. We went to Venice beach which is apparently called muscle beach, too. They have an outdoor weightroom right on the beach. One guy was wearing a speedo and looked to be at least 60 and carried his "boombox" down the beach with just the speedo & tennis shoes on. Apparently he's a regular there... There were lots of entertainer type people set up wanting your money & they were fun to watch. There was also a group of boys playing the marching band type drums. They were really good!!

Then we went back to the hotel & swam in the pool some more & sat in the hot tub some more & watched the fireworks again. Then off to bed!!

Looks like a fun trip!! I love Disneyland!!! I have many good memories of growing up and going to Disneyland with Brandon! Ask him if he remembers in-n-out burger and all of us standing outside of the bathroom door telling him to hurry cuz we knew he couldn't go with people outside the door...good times... :)


have a happy thanksgiving!!!

Disneyland sounds like so much fun!
